Chapter 398
Gwendolyn’s expression became cold instantly.
At the thought of everything that happened at the Harris residence the day before, she sneered, “Even
you don’t believe in this paternity test, but my brothers who have loved and cared for me for over
twenty years believe it. Isn’t this ironic? As for Kieran…” The ironic look on Gwendolyn’s face
intensified as she continued, “He was the first to believe the paternity test result after seeing Alban’s
fingerprint on it yesterday.”
She couldn’t trust anyone in the Harris family now.
When Eloise was secretly released, she taunted Gwendolyn on her way out. “He has been acting all
innocent and weak in that family of yours for so long now. I can’t wait to see the look on your face when
he reveals his true nature! I’m pretty sure it won’t be a long wait, though! Hahaha! It must really hurt to
be betrayed by the person you love the most, huh? I’ll look forward to the day you break down after
learning the truth, Gwendolyn!”
Gwendolyn previously thought Eloise was referring to Cedrick, but now that she thought about it
carefully, she realized that she must be referring to one of her brothers.
The more Gwendolyn thought about it, the more disappointed she was.
Cedrick fell into deep thought again.
Although he had only heard about yesterday’s incident at the Harris residence from Gwendolyn, he
believed that her brothers were not foolish based on his previous interactions with them. It was
impossible for them to overlook these doubtful aspects.
Especially Kieran, who was usually quiet and emotionless. Among the three brothers, he was the most
cunning and smart.
Although Kieran wasn’t talkative, his love for Gwendolyn was no less than Asher and Treyton’s.
If Kieran didn’t truly care for Gwendolyn, he wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of giving Cedrick
difficult tasks and making him experience the pain of childbirth to appreciate the pain that Gwendolyn
would endure in the future.
Furthermore, Kieran and Treyton prepared the three toasts personally.
How could their love for Gwendolyn vanish just because of a paternity test report?
“Perhaps the news was too sudden for them to react, Gwenny. Once they understand it better, I trust
that they wille to believe you.”
Cedrick and Sienna from yesterday shared the same thoughts.
Unwilling to discuss her brothers anymore, Gwendolyn changed the subject. “Regarding the incident of
Dad falling down the stairs, I still feel that something is off even though Evelyn exined it clearly
yesterday. Even if Dad was really furious upon learning about the paternity test, he wouldn’t lose his
composure like that and fall down the stairs easily. Furthermore, Lori and Leif just so happened
weren’t by his side.”
Cedrick thought about it seriously. “This will not be an easy investigation. After all, it happened at the
Harris residence. If we summon the servants with an order from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, it
will alert the perpetrator if there’s any.”
“You’re right. We can investigate this matter further when we have the opportunity in the future.”
A certain beautiful face emerged in Gwendolyn’s mind. “Let’s start by investigating Evelyn. Find out
where she has been to recently, and who she has been close to.”
“Okay, I’ll instruct Nico to do itter.”
Clutching the paternity test report, Gwendolyn continued grimly, “We have to investigate Alban too. I
don’t trust him either. We need to check his recent whereabouts, his family’s situation, and his financial
records.”
“Don’t worry, we can trust Nico to handle this,” Cedrick replied.
Then, he cupped her face and gave her a kiss on her tender lips. “But for now… I want you tofort
me, Gwenny…”
He gently rubbed his nose against hers and fixated his gaze on her expectantly in an attempt to divert
her mind from the trivial matters that were bothering her.
Gwendolyn raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance. “Why do you needforting? What are you
unhappy with?”
Cedrick nestled into her embrace and rubbed against her yfully. “Gwenny, I’m so poor now that I
must rely on you to support me in the future. I only have you, and I want to be pampered by you…” he
said coquettishly.
If Gwendolyn abandoned him at that moment, he would be truly left with nothing.
However, he knew that she would never do that.
After holding his face in her hands and kissing him passionately, Gwendolyn rolled over and pinned him
beneath her.
“Okay, let me pamper you!”
With that said, she covered their bodies with a nket to muffle their gasps of ecstasy.
Feeling refreshed, Cedrick went to shower in the bathroom.
As Gwendolyn went in to wash her hands, she pinched his firm butt teasingly.
After some yful antics, she went back to the room. Sitting at the edge of the bed, she took out a
nt-based hand cream and applied it on her slightly reddened fingertips.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a news notification from Twitter.
When she nced at it and saw the familiar word “Harris,” she immediately opened her phone
seriously and clicked on the notification to read the details.
The Harris family was going to publicly acknowledge Evelyn as the youngest daughter of their family,
stating that she had gone missing years ago and had now been found.
In five days, a grand wee-back feast would be held for Evelyn.
Also, the inheritance rights of the Harris family would be officially signed over to her by thewyer on
the same day.
The news was flooded with blessings fromizens who were unaware of the situation. They
congratted this famous actress, who had unexpectedly be the Harris family’s youngest
daughter and would soon receive the inheritance rights during the wee-back feast.
This was exceptional favor!
Reading the news, Gwendolyn felt a blunt pain in her heart as she shuddered.
She didn’t need to guess who made those decisions.
Gwendolyn found it ridiculous that Asher deliberately concealed the fact that Evelyn was an illegitimate
daughter, and now he was handing over the Harris family to such a wicked woman.
Wrapped in a towel, Cedrick emerged from the bathroom while drying his damp hair with another towel
when he saw Gwendolyn sitting by the bed, looking dejected.
His expression immediately became serious. Striding over to her, he took her phone and quickly
skimmed through the news that she was reading.
“Gwenny, this may be…”
At this point, he didn’t even know how to justify Asher’s actions.
Gwendolyn gave him a nonchnt smile as she replied, “Since they don’t recognize me as a daughter
of the Harris family, why shall I care about having that identity in the past? As for the wee-back
feast…”
Although the edges of her lips curled upward, her gaze remained cold. “As the only female billionaire in
Chanaea, how can I be absent from the Harris family’s feast?”
It didn’t suit her character to let the feast happen as the Harris family wished.
Cedrick gave her warm hand a gentle squeeze to tell her that he would stand by her side no matter
what.
In the afternoon, Cedrick drove Gwendolyn to the hospital for a routine prenatal check-up.
Perhaps influenced by her recent frustrations, some of the indicators went slightly higher. Hence, the
doctor repeatedly advised her not to get too excited or too unhappy.
Cedrick sat outside and waited for Gwendolyn while she was undergoing various examinations.
When Nico found out that Cedrick was at the hospital, he immediately came over to find him.
“Cedrick, Grandpa is asking you to go to the ancestral hall…”
Cedrick remained expressionless. “I’ll go back once Gwenny finishes her prenatal check-up.”
“I heard that Grandpa is furious. Xander is there too. They probably want an exnation from you.
They want you to go back immediately,” Nico whispered before stepping aside to wait for him
